llustrated, w/ Sandglass Insert – 1966 Edition

A timeless classic in a collectible presentation. This 1966 Heritage Press edition of Twice-Told Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne is both beautifully bound and richly illustrated by Valenti Angelo, with a thoughtful introduction by Wallace Stegner. The elegant hardcover features a patterned cover with a linen spine and gold-embossed title panel. This copy includes the original Heritage Club Sandglass insert—often missing from listings.
 
This edition is a standout for collectors, lovers of American literature, or anyone curating a visually beautiful bookshelf. Stories include some of Hawthorne’s most enduring works like “The Gray Champion,” “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment,” and “The Minister’s Black Veil.”
